I wondered if you use K3EZ and have tried that for successful connection? It does sound like the K3Util program itself giving you trouble(Reinstall as Dick advised etc) considering the logger program etc.
The usb-ser adapter will set the device com port whether the K3 is connected or not, once plugged in the usb receptacle. It would be interesting to know whether K3EZ works for you? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of W8JH Sent: Wednesday, 18 July 2012 4:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 lost comm with K3Util My K3 has lost communication with the K3 utility program. Although properly configured (comm port) the Utility cannot read the versions of firmware in the rig nor update them. The recent improvements in 4.51 have me wanting to update and try it out. Oddly enough my logger, N3FJP still communicates fine with the K3 on the same comm port (10) I have the K3utility attempt to connect on. I do shut down the logger before trying K3Util and have rebooted, etc. with no luck. The computer is a laptop. I have purchased another USB converter recommended on the list and still have the same problems. I do not have a "real" serial port available and do not expect to have one. This problem has crept in over the past year or so. Used to be it would happen on occasion to the logger and K3Util but recently I have not had a problem with the logger and the K3Util has been non functional for over a month. I wanted to look for others with a similar experience and perhaps cure here before heading to support. ----- 73, Joe, W8JH K3 1713, KPA 132 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-lost-comm-with-K3Util-tp7559310.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
